Noon Games Open Thread

But if they called illegal touching on Ohio, then how is that reviewable then?

i hate that instead of showing the replay of the punt we get commercials. Also Beth Mowins is super annoying.

Why even try and run a read option with Terbush?

Why was that illegal? I get that purdue has the option to take the ball there but what makes it illegal?

Purdue just plain Purwon't.

Well Purdue had their chances, but they just pissed those away.  Does Purdue try Marve?  The weakness (well the biggest) is the pass D of Ohio, and Marve may be able to more effectively stretch the field.

EMU hitting with slightly firmer pillows at the moment

Confirmed by MVictors, MSU in shiny chrome helmets.

Finally Purdue goes to what works...

You would think Army could find tougher pillows. 0-6 Eastern still up on 1-5 Army, though. Why isn't this on TV?

to last week's barely-win, if osu loses this week with yet another turrible defensive performance, added to a mediocre offensive performance, there should be some good TWIS fodder.

Why wasn't Purdue doing this all freaking game?  It's exactly what IU did, but Purdue actually has some semblance of a defense.

Sweeeeet drive by Purdue.  Had OSU chasing their tails.

And now Ohio has given up more yards to Purdue than either UM or Wisc in the whole game. While at home.

You watch; Wisconsin will lose two more games and Purdue will end up winning the le-something division after all.

Also, is it time to start acknowledging the existence of the Angry Ohio Linebacker Hating God yet? AOLBHG has a nice ring to it...

Purdue is probably the most frustrating team in the nation at going away frim their offense against good teams. They do it against ND every year. My mom has been complaining about it for years. "Why did they stop all of the short passes? It looks like they aren't even trying to win anymore." It must be a mustache thing.

First they called the VT QB down as he spun out of a tackle and completed what would have been at least a 20 yard completion (result punt). After the punt Boyd passed the ball to Watkins, he clearly fumbled the ball and the replay shows he fumbled it and the officials still called him down (result Clemson got a TD, three plays later.

Fumble! Purdue recovers. 

Danny Hope looked like a 3 yr old kid on christmas with that smile and how he was clapping. That needs to be a gif

Well that was pretty clearly a fumble...so don't fuck it up refs.

This bugs the crap out of me. Why do they review plays that were obviously called correctly on the field (like this one), but don't review a call that was obviously wrong on the field (like the Illinois fumble two yards before the end zone against Ohio a few years back)? This stuff isn't rocket science.

This makes me a lot more comfortable about next week's game against Nebraska.

Aaaaannnddd Purdue blows another opportunity...

Holy hell, Purdue. You're doing everything you can to not win this game. 

Classic Purdont

That kick was 4 feet in the air. 

Purdue is trying REALLY hard to give this game away.

Wind knocked out of him

Can't say I didn't see this one coming. Purdue has had plenty of chances to put this game further out of reach but just can't seem to ever capitalize.

Even if Purdue loses today, though, Ohio State has further shown that they are very, very beatable.

If Purdue doesn't win this game, all everyone will see is 8-0.  Not the fact that Ohio is significantly struggling against two of the worst teams in the B1G.  God, just hold on Purdue.

Did the ESPN BottomLine just say that Everett Golson won't start, but he will play? If so, WTF is Brian Kelly doing? If he is playing, then you can't say you aren't starting him because of the concussion. 

Wow, he looks in rough shape.

Shoulder or concussion for Braxton??  Sounds like head as I'm typing this.  Definitely a hard tackle to the ground and the impact may have been enough for head injury.  That sucks for Braxton and Ohio; hopefully things turn out well, I'm sure we'll have updates on the matter soon.

Hope Miller's okay. I want him full strength when we put an end to their perfect season, so there's no excuses.

Damn. Miller doesn't look good at all. Hope he's okay. 

Ok, jokes aside...what kind of injury is that?  That does not look good.  Hope it's nothing serious.

He's doubled over, so that's probably not a concussion. More likely a rib or shoulder injury.

Braxton didn't look too good getting to that cart. Hope the kid is alright. I want to see him go up against Jake Ryan this year at full health.
